ex-OSA staffmember works to reform the subject of Scientology

Normally a brilliant lampoon artist with a long record of laughs for his humorous shots at Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige, Jeffrey Augustine looks to me to have come home drunk from the Los Angeles area get-together in the park yesterday:

It’s not a secret to those of us in intelligence community research, nor to Knights Templar Freemason Jeffrey Augustine, that Hubbard’s CIA handler Miles Copeland also happens to be the father of Stuart Copeland, drummer for the smash-hits rock trio “The Police.” So it makes perfect sense why Jeffrey chose to feature their music, as he nevertheless desperately struggles to depict Miles’ tell-all material as “dangerous and deranged.”

What doesn’t make sense to the targets of his article, Mike and Virginia McClaughry and myself (Scott Gordon), is why besides planting violent imagery like:

“Can those two take this plunge off the edge of the world? Or would it cause their heads to explode?”

…why Jeffrey would choose of all the Police band catalogue, to leave us with “Murder by Numbers” (perhaps as a closing reminder of the high-stakes manner of retaliation he’d like us to believe our whistleblowing disclosures merit?).

This is going far beyond the fun humor that “OTVIIIisGrrr8” is known for. This is in reality using a supposed humor channel to pass along a veiled but chilling, implied threat, and may be an indicator of how desperate Jeffrey is to contain the McClaughry revelations on behalf of his displeased masters.

In other words, he’s feeling the heat. So much so that by my reading, he is flirting on the edge of crossing the line over into illegal harassment.

Jeffrey was counting on his regular readers not to pick up on exactly who he was referring to in his opening paragraph. He was counting on those named to take it shuddering in silence.

And since we’re sure he’s going to take this down shortly for that very reason, here is a screenshot of his drunken handiwork for posterity:

I have been campaigning for a more coordinated effort between the ex-Scios who are activist, and Indies who care about reform, so that the Miscavige monopoly could be broken a little more than it already is, and so we can also have real examples out here of non-abusive and more inclusive Scientology.

It just has not gone over well.

There are a few however, who see the wisdom in this approach – and not so coincidentally they are not present since they are not welcome, at Tony Ortega’s – at Mike Rinder’s – at Karen’s ESMB (yes Karen and Jeffrey have been running ESMB in case nobody has caught on – and now watch them hold another CommEv on me over there, asking me for “evidence” of that…).

Mike Rinder in particular, due to the exposure he has been getting to “under the radar” church members, should have been able to work this in, and actually did a little, up until the South Africans went independent and then no more. But now you can see some of his material is being ghostwritten by Karen and/or Jeffrey Augustine.

And Karen, despite still auditing clients and being an LRH-trained Class XII, is busy playing “OSA” (as was her hat officially for 5 1/2 years – although now it’s looking more like an ongoing career) and mustering haters and attackers instead of – what are we talking about here – effectively uniting the very two factions she is all-over-the-map involved with – haters, attackers and ex-SO-still-Indy “victims” (Karen-made) who have lost their way – their purpose to take down Miscavige and have been instead persuaded to turn on others like Marty – like me – who won’t join up and follow with her new flock.

It seems that media finally now has no fear of corporate Scientology, but lawyers still do. Once again, I see that Karen has since 2013, retained and suborned the last effective lawyer who once won in a big way, for Debbie Cook. Since Karen could make (or break) the next lawsuit due to having positioned herself so centrally behind the troika and their sheep, then I hold her primarily responsible for the big ZERO in effective lawsuits over actual grievances, which in so doing could accomplish big steps in reform.

I once told her there are many of us who couldn’t qualify for Garcia’s $40K limit for participation in his suit, but who were yet close enough… pffft…

And where is her lawsuit against the church’s supposedly libelous expose’s on her?

I think this “old lady who has been backing Rinder” and throwing money around the field has been and is, following another agenda entirely. And I see that she pumped quite a bit of energy and resources into shutting down at least one of the persons (Alanzo) who had testified with direct hints she gave him as to where that agenda might be coming from.

Why do people who ask these questions of her get attacked or “disappear”?

Yes, Karen most of all, could have been the one to unite this field against her supposed “enemy” but has been busy, busy, busy – organizing, controlling, intelligence-gathering, public relations, articles, payments, transfers, appearances, cruises for shmoozes – doing lord knows what and why.

I am staying tuned here [Marty’s] because I keep getting more and more clues as to why it is that there is little or no work being done (not just ASC but FreeZone and Indies, too) to take effective measures to reform, bring about justice and put an end to abusive versions of Scientology.

Here are some important clarifications to the auto-translation that appears in the video if you are watching with “closed captions” (and this is intended further, to function as a glossary) –

*ad nauseum (not “at mezame”) – over and over to the point of nausea

*mimesis (not “nemesis”) – to mimic or copy in servile fashion

*troll forum (not “troll form”) – place where haters and agents gather to spread rumors and lies to influence and inflame the rest of the ordinary folk there (places like Tony Ortega’s Underground Bunker or Mike Rinder’s “Something Can Be Done About It” blog or “Ex-Scientologists Message Board”) – they are *cowards* as they will not reveal their true identities nor for whom they are working

*troika – group of three people (word of Russian origin) – can you guess who these three are? (helpful hints in my final words below)

*90% (not “19 percent”)

I view Marty’s video here as the opening shot in a series which is going to have the two popes (David Miscavige, Tony Ortega) of their respective cults, running for cover, as well as the Queen Bee and her worker bee order-followers. Their day is coming.

Your father, Dennis Clarke, was an inspiration and help to me. He was one of the greatest confronters of evil I have ever met, courageously and tirelessly working to expose the brutalities of psychiatry despite continual attacks from many fronts. But along with all that, he was also one of the sharpest intellects and thinkers I have known. His ability to shed light on events and conflicts, and to lead people out of herd mentality and into reason, was phenomenal. When everyone around was clamoring for war, Dennis stood up for peace. He was a leader and a man of integrity, and a very helpful influence to me.

Scott Gordon

Dennis was a friend of mine who helped me through a major investigation into criminal fraud somewhere west of Dallas, in the course of carrying out duties in my sphere of responsibility as Director of Special Affairs at Celebrity Center Dallas for Office of Special Affairs of the Western United States. This was not a minor affair. In fact, the corruption surrounding this long-time Scientologist we were investigating went so high up into the church, that for a brief period I trusted Dennis more than I did my superiors in OSA. His detective work in getting the final, damning evidence needed to seal the case, and his ability to accurately report on it, made all the difference.

While I acknowledge that Dennis was not of exemplary behavior at all to those exercising their first amendment rights in picketing the church (I do not blame Mark Bunker for example, for how he’s said he feels about Dennis) or in practicing their religious freedoms in the new David Mayo organization called the “Advanced Ability Center,” there are many overriding reasons that I am not ashamed to call Dennis my friend. My affinity for this being who did more than any I know to expose the criminal, evil aspects of institutional psychiatry boldly in public, is not alloyed.

I was a “fanatic Scientologist” too, when I knew and worked with and corresponded with Dennis Clarke (2003-2012). But by this time he was older and wiser, and no longer focused on protesters or detractors of the church. By this time, having been subjected to Fair Game from his own group, he was aware of a bigger picture of society and had a far more responsible and caring viewpoint about things. He confided in me and I in him. He shared concerns with me that people in the church – specifically OSA – were working on destroying him. In turn, I pointed out to him that David Miscavige was not following Hubbard policy and in fact was being extremely abusive and had been steering the church into a fatal course.

Along with a “memories of” post I am going to share at the end, I’ve also collected some comments made by others who knew and worked with Dennis, to give a wider range of viewpoints – positive ones – to balance out what has been said elsewhere.

Sad but not surprising. Last I remember seeing Dennis was a decade or so ago in Clearwater where he ran an anti-psych radio show. I walked into his studio one day with my camera and with his permission took bunch of shots. Dennis was visibly delighted by this attention (though I was with OSA that visit was spirited by my personal interest). Dennis at that time was considered a loose cannon, a potential security risk… Wouldn’t Dennis – or anyone for that matter – kind of pick that up??? That they are excluded, not included. It’s one of the worst things you can do to another, make him or her feel excluded. Terrible stuff. So I think I felt for Dennis at that time, wanting to show some support.

Thanks Marty for answering the plea for help. I am not surprised that you did. You sir, are awesome.

And part of my reply to that:

…Dennis blew the whistle on these things [Ponzi schemes to “get going up the Bridge”] in reports and then got run out of town, losing his successful LRH-oriented radio show to these arrogant partisans who cut his financial base with third party.

Dennis started producing brilliant, early-warning write-ups about the post 911 war-mongering about to embroil the 4th dynamic, an Eli Lily cabinet White House, loss of civil liberties, Bush’s first psych meds prescription, etc. He put ethics in on the warmongering taking hold on the Scientologist e-mail groups and generally set a good example of “independent thought” along the lines of LRH data series and ethics and justice. This is when [all that] was quite unpopular amongst this crowd. Many didn’t appreciate being reminded about LRH’s anti-war stance.

Dennis took up unpopular calls for justice for the poor and disenfranchised during a period when it was getting more and more popular in the group to blast people as “downstats.” And he continued to be hit for it with reports from the most highly-placed of OT[Ambassadors] and DM [David Miscavige fanatics] bots.

Then in recent years, in his passion for uncovering nutritional and other related pro-survival technologies, he set about helping others gear up for the avian-swine flu, uncovered by his own research months before it hit the media. Dennis stumbled upon the now-recognized miraculous breakthroughs in Vitamin D research. This is today starting to finally reach mainstream media and the broader culture as a vital, but generally deficient nutrient, [a] cancer preventative, plague-virus preventative, and general health and immune-system builder long neglected due to poor and false advice to avoid sun exposure.

Dennis… faithfully stayed on the subject educating his readership for years. Thanks to his [patient reminders] on that, I am among those of his readership now enjoying excellent health and a family member of mine was cured of a chronic condition once that deficiency was addressed…

Monte | July 19, 2011 at 4:49 pmWow, I hate to hear this news about Dennis. Although I never met the him I did, on a few occasions, attend talks he gave when he would come through Portland back in the day. I always liked him and admired his modern day warrior beingness. Years later when I was living in Clearwater I would tune in daily to his 3hr long radio show, The Human Rights Hour. The HRH was not a radio talk show where any listeners would call in. Instead, it was Dennis filling the 3hrs with personal anecdotes, reading reports from numerous sources, interviewing really interesting guests and so on. Easily, the lion’s share of his program pertained in some way to the health care field. He also, of course, had shows about Dianetics and he often would play an LRH lecture. As I most of the time listened to his show through a litle boom box I had that also had a tape recorder. I ended up taping hrs and hrs of his programs. That noted, here’s a little side story about what I did with some of those tapes.

There were three guests that Dennis had on his show on a frequent basis. It was obvious that he really liked them and they really liked him. These three guests were: Dr. Udo Erasmus, the creator of “Udo’s Oil” (wonderful product!!), Dr. Sherry Rodgers, who shared incredible info straight from studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Assoc. This info that Sherry would bring to the table turned out to be a major process of false data stripping. And finally, there was Dr. Ann Blake Tracy who was an expert on psyche drugs. Well, I selected what I thought to be the best interview that each of these individuals had done with Dennis and I made numerous copies of each. Then, on a trip I made from Clearwater to AR then to TX and back to FL, whenever I came even close to a health food store, I would stop in, visit for a while then before leaving, give the mgr of the store copies of these three interviews. A couple of yrs later when I made another trip to AR, and stopped back in to a couple of stores that I had visited previously I noticed that they were selling books by all three of Dr.s and also were selling Udo’s Oil.

Dennis Clark’s sphere of influence was certainly of no small magnitude.

As far as the CoS’s and church mbrs not reaching out to help a fellow mbr in need, this lack of compassion and lack of willingness to lend a helping hand, is, per my observations, not atypical amongst organized groups. This is the manifestatin of a species that has become “dis” e.g., disconnected, disassociated, disaffected, disparaged, dispassionate, disloyal, disillusioned and so on.

This phenomeon of throwing fellow mbrs under the bus in their time of need even occurs within the so called secret societies. For example, My grandfather was a 32nd degree Mason and when he reached a point in his life where he really could use a helping hand and turned to his group expecting one…well, no helping hand came from the Masons.

Okay, that being noted with regards to organized groups, I have seen and experienced in cyber communities, when someone in such a community hits a hard spot in the road, there is no lack of compassion and actual help that other mbrs of the community are ready and willing to flow.

Some Memories…

Dennis Clarke was President of Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights for many years, before Miscavige pulled a coup on him behind his back, leaving him stranded in Mexico (late 80’s?) while heavy third-party was being generated and criminal Jan Eastgate was imported from Australia, where she had covered up Scio crimes (I do not know many more details than that). Dennis came back from his hard-working tour through Mexico to find he’d been taken off post!

I am sure it was maddening for him the rest of his life, to never know that the COB had engineered such a heartless and brutal attack on a really effective spokesperson against criminal psychiatry. (I tried to drop such a hint to him when I got him to look at DM’s criminality before I was outed and declared SP in May 2012, but he believed in David Miscavige to the end because as he put it, he’d witnessed David “handle Shelly so wonderfully” when they’d gotten out of their limo where they had apparently been fighting, just before arriving for a movie showing at Flag, and felt that “proved” DM had “compassion” – yeah, I know…).

Dennis Clarke was the first winner of the IAS Freedom Medal, which in that day was actually awarded for something real. I’m pretty sure that this status showered on him by David Miscavige blinded him to the later, brutal betrayals of this despot against him.

I am aware of his earliest days reportedly “womanizing” around CCHR (which won him some female enemies in OSA), and his infiltration work for RTC’s nasty Fair Game operation against David Mayo in 1984, and his arguably bullying actions against picketers throughout the 90’s – Dennis was a true believer and energetic defender of his religion.

I wanted to share however, some extremely positive points about this man who once helped bail me out of trouble while investigating a corrupt field situation with a criminal fraud operation that went so high up the org board that my own post was seriously threatened and I was on the edge of a Comm-Ev removal from post for “attacking an upstat” [Scientologese for a “successful person” who should be “left alone” – which was at times taken to extremes, even when the person was demonstrably involved in criminal activity].

[I will tell that exciting story another day, because it’s too long for right here, and so it’s not that appropriate. Dennis did some impressive investigative work and helped me shut down a criminal operation, and finally got me exonerated from doubts over what I was doing with the case.]

To me, Dennis was a person of integrity and head and shoulders above the typical corporate Scientologist in that regard. I think that he kept my secret in regards to tipping him off about the criminality of Miscavige coming to light in the emerging Tampa Bay Times Truth Rundown (he told me that of all the people – opinion leaders included – my alert to him in the form of an impassioned appeal message, was the only one that got him to really “look”), and in return I had already kept and continued to keep, his originations in confidence that OSA was infiltrated with “agents” and that some were actively working on taking him out (as in “killing” him), which I know seems paranoid, but from what I knew then and what I know now, I still believe to have distinct possibilities of being valid. Of course, I know that by the time of Marty’s article, his mind was beginning to break down and this lingering feeling of persecution, rooted in older, actual situations, became a source of great distress to him.

David Miscavige really had long been “after him,” even if the greatest danger was no more.

I have no problem believing internal operations of such an alarming nature did occur in this criminal organization deep within OSA, along with parallel operations being run by outside agencies, some with interests supporting, some with interests against, Scientology.

I have no faintest doubt that David Miscavige was continually upset at Dennis Clarke’s Opinion Leader status and his incredible influence over the field, and his integrity such that if things like the “illegal 6-mo. checks” (which did raise Dennis’s interest greatly when I pointed it out) or David Miscavige’s betrayal of the public by violence and inurement of IAS and other funds, ever got through those filters of his defending his “religion,” he had the capability of bringing more down than even Debbie Cook did with her OL [“opinion leader”] status and letter. If you could have convinced this man that those crimes really did exist, he would not have tolerated it for a minute.

Dennis could not break away in the end, and when I, still “under the radar” and making preparations to drive to Clearwater and give him assists (about to bring an e-meter which in retrospect was dumb because although I had no great “back-off” – it would have not been okay with anyone since I was not of his case level – OT V), called him up at his Clearwater assisted-living home, he asked me point-blank if I was in “good standing” to which I replied honestly, “yeah, technically, but I think I’m in trouble” – he politely and graciously thanked me for the offer and said I should not drive all the way out to do that (plus other friends were rightly worried about my safety in Clearwater since it was becoming more and more obvious I wasn’t really “under the radar” anymore with OSA – they had people around Dennis who in retrospect as I write this, must have had access to his computer where my “treasonous” – to Chairman of the Board, David Miscavige – e-mails could be found).

So I’ll break it down into simple points some of the things he did during the time I knew him, which was long after all the work he did with major media appearances speaking out against barbaric practices of criminal psychiatry (I neither stupidly believe psychiatry has the answers to the mind, nor go to the other extreme and deny that there are not some decent psychiatrists, like Jung, Berne, and many others, very much worthy of study).

*Dennis Clarke stood up boldly and spoke against the war when Bush had 90% approval ratings and much of the Scientology field was very caught up in this and justifying the war (which as you know turned out to be illegal and practically baseless). He did not just “shout people down” though – he painstakingly developed his arguments and presentations using a combination of LRH quotes and inspired writings from other sources. On this Dynamic he demonstrated that he was a man of peace and steadfastly against the brutality of war.

*By the time of the 2004 elections, a number of Scientologists were becoming so blatantly political that e-mails began circulating from “official” church (Sea Org!) terminals caught up in it. Dennis and I talked about this epidemic at length, and though I was in transition to Costa Rica, I still had the ear of OSA Int, and we both put in the “Scientology is non-political” datum in “with a bang” – not – for the reason of tax-exempt status (which won the day with OSA) – but on principle. Dennis had taught me the mechanism in the mind that drives people to extremes (it is in the technical material on the Goals-Problem-Mass and audited on OT II to some degree) for which I will be forever grateful, since even without ever doing OT II it freed me from group-think and compulsion to “play teams” and “choose sides” (things that by the way, helped me straighten out in myself, a sense of real justice in contrast to Hubbard’s problematic “us vs. them” justice rampant in Scio think).

*Dennis pushed the breaking Vitamin D research (some would say too far, but the important point is that it has turned out to be highly important health information) with a constant stream of high-quality technical articles and presentations – he cared about getting this vital information out – and we both figured out an important truth with regards to race and skin color in humanity, and that is that the only reason for varying skin color and especially lighter skin for the human body at Northern latitudes, is to accomplish the absorption of Vitamin D from solar exposure, so that young females could develop bone structure suitable for childbirth (today they solve that unnaturally, with C-section births).

*Dennis was greatly concerned about reports of arsenic contamination in wells being drilled for third world populations, and he actually traveled overseas to investigate it first-hand. In the end he found that the contamination was “natural” (deposits of arsenic-concentrated veins in the earth) but we both remained suspicious, considering the WHO (World Health Org) was involved and people were being poisoned. The point here – whatever you believe about our suspicions – is that he cared enough to spend the time and go and look for himself.

*Dennis continually blew the whistle on numerous “Ponzi schemes” that fanatic and unethical Scientologists would continually concoct in hopes of getting rich and getting up the expensive Bridge. He was continually attacked by those who knew they were being foiled. Dennis demanded that businesses have exchangeable products and did not look well on pyramid schemes, at all.

*Dennis continually campaigned for justice using the most sensible quotes he could find (not limited to LRH). He was pushing Human Rights long before OSA finally came out with their campaigns after 2002 (and this ties back to my comment about his passion for peace within and between nations).

Yes, I know you some of you who were on the receiving end of this guy at protests will probably spot some uncomfortable ironies here – but Dennis was no typical, robotic, corporate Scientologist. His example of integrity in many areas, was positively inspiring to me – and I know to many others in the Scientologist community – and, in the end, this was part of the inspiration I would need to summon the courage to leave the criminal church, and to eventually today, continue whistleblowing and campaigning for real justice.

Dennis Clarke had quite a positive impact on my life.

Although I ended up cut off by “Disconnection” from Dennis, I always hoped he was doing well, and I know for certain that there is going to be quite a powerful being coming back to this earth in the near future.

(Note that of the above whistleblowers, I am the only one who remains a practicing independent Scientologist, non-religious counselor, for reasons I will go into in another, future article.)

Some years ago Marty Rathbun and Mike Rinder were balked at their correct strategy of appealing to the FBI and IRS government agencies for intervention in this out-of-control “religion” (Church of Scientology) that asserts a heartless and criminal-enabling policy called ‘FAIR GAME” as “religious doctrine.” As a last resort, Leah Remini has heroically sought to embarrass the David Miscavige empire into reforming, with barely perceptible results and no real reforms – only stonewalling silence in response.

And while the above-named reformers have independently in their own way, worked to dig deeper into this government-protected criminal racket for answers, what has the Ortega-Carriere “Anti-Scientology” movement been up to?

*attacking Narconons – competitors of Catholic and Psychiatric drug rehabilitation centers which are even more costly and arguably more dangerous (they seem to be more adept at keeping their failures out of the news)

*mercilessly attacking Resa Aslan’s attempt to present the auditing (counseling) technology of Scientology, as separate from official Scientology

-and the list goes on…

Meanwhile, “tick-tock” (as the ex-Scios like to say, as if we had all the time in the world). Lisa McPherson’s murder remains un-prosecuted, though many reasons to re-open the case were given in Marty’s written and video testimonials.

Dedicated staffers in Hubbard’s Sea Org – some of the best and brightest beings who prefer to submit total allegiance to the microcosmic world of Hubbard’s “saving the planet,” over the greater society’s destructive, “destroying the planet” alternative, continue to fall prey to this government-sponsored religion‘s quiet program of cultural genocide through its “no family” policy as the submissive order-follower Guillame Lesevre’s directive ordered by corporate Scientology dictator David Miscavige, who has exiled his own childless wife so that he can sleep with his secretary.

Photo evidence and testimony has been posted in full public view, of blatant INUREMENT – a direct disqualifier for IRS tax exemption, and the IRS does nothing (I have already linked numerous clues above as to why that is – yet Tony Ortega refuses to investigate and Karen de la Carriere shepherds ex-staff and other vital whistleblowers into secret, closed groups – her husband Jeffrey Augustine has been reportedly approaching key whistleblowers for recruitment into a far more disturbing pyramid scheme than corporate $cientology – Freemasonry(!) – you can’t make this stuff up).

Which brings me to some questions I am not allowed to ask around Ortega-Carriere haunts, and would get me banned from ESMB in a heartbeat.

Is corporate $cientology some kind of sub-division of Freemasonry? the CIA? the U.S government? the British Empire? ALL OF THE ABOVE???

Because its lay-out matches up perfectly with an official state religion worthy of a globalist New World Order.

So I have chosen this day, the 57th birthday (30 April 1960) of “supreme commander” David Miscavige, to release the Office of Special Affairs intelligence pack in full, with many issues written by Naval Intelligence Officer L. Ron Hubbard (whose CIA file remains sealed and unreleased to the public more than 30 years after his death) which shed light on traditional western intelligence methods and tactics adapted to enhance this new religion which has proven highly effective in motivating staff to work for little pay and long hours and willingly subscribe to punishment, aligning it fully with objectives any global elite would be expected to harbor – conspiracy or not.

If so, this would explain the ruthless “divide and conquer” strategies of the Ortega-Carriere axis who push the “Hubbard-as-god” (official “church” and some independents) vs. “Hubbard-as-clown” (Ortega, Jon Atack, et al) extremes. But mostly (conceding that Karen as a practicing Scientologist does not attack Hubbard’s technology overtly), strictly controlling alliances, group memberships, party lines and most importantly, information control.

This article is push-back on that information control. Serving notice to those practicing it that the irrepressible drive for Truth and Freedom is simmering underneath the lying suppression, and that we are in fact going to the Truth and Freedom movements where care for truth, natural law rights and other fundamental human rights are still priorities, and agendas – state-driven or ego-driven – are strongly frowned upon.

Releasing this mostly complete* package of what goes on in the intelligence world through its main divisions of intelligence, public relations and legal system manipulation, accomplishes a vitally needed step in an ethical challenge to the ethically challenged.

(*this pdf is a partially sanitized version omitting key Guardian’s Office references that are still being used by Office of Special Affairs secret intelligence staff for black operations)

So if you are among the “ethically-challenged” who can no longer see the truth and tell the truth because of the people you have been hanging around, the crimes you have not laid out on the table that you’ve been a part of, and the limits placed on your free speech to speak the truth, then this is your invitation and opportunity to self-correct, because these injustices have been going on far too long.

It is time to get this potentially huge, but currently-crippled movement, to reform, correct and redress wrongs done in the name of Scientology, back on track, on the up-and-up and actually accomplishing effective action with correct targets.

(Flourish and Prosper) “Sometimes others seek to crush one down, to make nothing out of one’s hopes and dreams, one’s future and one, himself…For whatever reason, efforts to improve oneself, to become happier in life, can become the subject of attacks…If one’s aims in life are worthwhile…if one flourishes and prospers, one certainly will wind up the victor.” – L. Ron Hubbard – The Way to Happiness – 1981

Scott Gordon – Counselor Class 0+

Today marks one year of doing nothing else professionally, but full-time research and study into spiritual philosophy applied to effective counseling, and actively counseling others for a fair and reasonable rate.

It is what I’ve wanted to do from the moment I finished my copy of Dianetics in 1993. It is what I’ve studied in the 20 years since, in almost every spare moment, while heroically taking on the responsibility of advancing and defending an organization purportedly established for that very purpose.

The fact that I have come to realize that the modern organizations of L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics and Scientology have betrayed that purpose (assisted mainly by the founder, himself), does not change that purpose of my own, in any way.

I am not going to lie and say that I am happy in every way with my current situation (refer to my articles on losing my wife to Hubbard’s enforced disconnection policies), but I do have something here to be very thankful for.

For the first time in my life of so-far 49 years, I am working at something that I truly love to do, and making a decent living doing so. I work for myself and for my clients. I help people who have been happy with that help. And I have time to spend studying and researching improved methods of doing so, which methods also enrich my existence beyond easy description.

First of all, let me say that I could not have done this without my family, friends and like-minded associates who supported me, while I recovered from almost nothing and came from almost nowhere, to do it. I will not forget that.

But I am proud today that I have achieved things I never dreamed possible, mainly by sticking to my integrity and doing what I knew was right.

As always, some have turned against me because they were not ready to shine truth and honesty in dark places. And I understand – I recognize I have a very long way to go, myself.

Anyone connected to the corporate ‘church’ of Scientology has willingly turned a blind eye to a lot of suffering and injustice. It is a long, long process to recover one’s integrity after all that.

It is no use comparing oneself to others. I have learned that all you can do is to follow your heart where it leads you, stand as firmly as you ought, in your integrity, as it leads you upward to higher spiritual awareness, and compromise only as much as you absolutely need to, in order to maintain the cooperation of those around you that you might otherwise alienate through sheer speed of change.

I am just happy that my dream of professional success has become a living reality.

I have recovered financially to the degree of having fully made up for squandering my teacher retirement on the way to participating in a misguided effort to help an organization “help mankind.” In fact, I have recovered many times over.

My retirement is secure, my health is fantastic, and my life’s work is a joy.

I cannot honestly say that I “have it all” – but what I can say, is that I am thankful for this fulfillment in establishing my own career at a level that I never imagined could happen in the space of one year.

One year ago today, I started counseling with my first paid client. Today, he/she, among many other of my clients, is enthused with counseling, independent from religious organizations, and counseling and helping others using similar successful methodologies.

It is time for a new model. Religion and science have failed us so many times. But a movement of spiritually-minded, responsible and helpful people exists whose work is to formulate a healthy balance of ‘Know Thyself’ and helping to actively improve conditions around us.

“Become the change you want to see in others” is the guiding principle. And any techniques that help others without adversely affecting their self-determinism and dignity in any way, are valid processes to be used in helping each other achieve those goals.

People associated with the Church of Scientology or the alternative Independent Scientology or FreeZone Scientology have nothing to fear from me in the long run, despite some of the “Disconnection” and even “Fair Game” practices, that have continued to come my way from some of the above. I am going to continue to tell truths – however inconvenient – in as compassionate a way as I can, until all of the dynamics of life and spheres of existence straighten out and start making sense to me and begin to work for the common man who seeks answers.

Just one month before L. Ron Hubbard started pulling down a vital movement into one long, painful process of pulling ‘the shades of night’ on the very technology that hundreds of practitioners worked their hearts out to establish, he wrote these words that I have lived by since the day I read them:

MY PHILOSOPHY (excerpted)

“The study of philosophy is very ancient. The word means: ‘The love, study or pursuit of wisdom, or of knowledge of things and their causes, whether theoretical or practical.’

All we know of science or of religion comes from philosophy. It lies behind and above all other knowledge we have or use.

For long regarded as a subject reserved for halls of learning and the intellectual, the subject, to a remarkable degree, has been denied the man in the street.

Surrounded by protective coatings of impenetrable scholarliness, philosophy has been reserved to the privileged few.

The first principle of my own philosophy is that wisdom is meant for anyone who wishes to reach for it. It is the servant of king and commoner alike, and should never be regarded with awe.

Selfish scholars seldom forgive anyone who seeks to break down the walls of mystery and let the people in…

…Know thyself … and the truth shall set you free…

…We are only concerned with how to show man how he can set himself free.

This of course, is not very popular with those who depend upon the slavery of others for their living or power…

Suppression and oppression are the basic causes of depression. If you relieve those a person can lift his head, become well, become happy with life…

…I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days.

These shadows look so thick to him and weigh him down so that when he finds they are shadows and that he can see through them, walk through them and be again in the sun, he is enormously delighted…

…So my own philosophy is that one should share what wisdom he has, one should help others to help themselves, and one should keep going despite heavy weather for there is always a calm ahead. One should also ignore catcalls from the selfish intellectual who cries: ‘Don’t expose the mystery. Keep it all for ourselves. the people cannot understand.’

…For I know no man who has any monopoly of wisdom of this universe. It belongs to those who can use it to help themselves and others.

If things were a little better known and understood, we would all lead happier lives.

And there is a way to know them and there is a way to freedom.

The old must give way to the new, falsehood must become exposed by truth, and truth, though fought, always in the end prevails.”

Re-read if you will, those words carefully, for they were carefully chosen. It is my intention to take the man at his word (I left out the fibs about his past!), regardless of the betrayal that started soon after, with the penning of “Keeping Scientology Working” – those little increments of force and not-so-little outright lies about ‘source,’ replacing more and more of the ‘Affinity-Reality-Communication’ on which the subject is purportedly based.

And you think I am ‘1.1’?
(inside joke – means a person very hypocritical in actions relating to his words)

Be careful here – I am not asserting I am a “better man” or “smarter” or anything like that. We are all deeply flawed human beings – probably without exception. And I know that Hubbard faced real enemies in repressive government operations. It is anyone’s responsibility to do their due diligence and establish the truth for themselves. I am just saying that promises have been made, and that they are not superseded by someone’s insane effort to monopolize the subject “for our own good”:

“So anybody that knows the remedy of this subject—anybody that knows these techniques—is himself actually under a certain responsibility; that’s to make sure that he doesn’t remain a sole proprietor. That’s all it takes; just don’t remain a sole proprietor. Don’t ever think that a monopoly of this subject is a safe thing to have. It’s not safe. It’s not safe for man; it’s not safe for this universe.”

For too long I have endured the cognitive dissonance of the outright denial of this promise to mankind by the church, its misguided parishioners, and now in the “independent” field by those still indoctrinated into blaming everyone but the ‘Master’- who have yet to discover the depth of betrayal we have all been subjected to.

So I remain a permanent ‘Class 0+’ counselor. It’s all I will ever seek to attain as far as “official” credentials. Why? Because Class 0 covers the true essence of what makes auditing work. Because the years it took me to earn this status inside the church gave me all the metering skills needed for any level. Because I ‘studied ahead,’ with honesty and integrity, earning my status of ‘auditor’ with dozens of successes above my grade, even while ‘in’ the church. And because I protest the waste of thousands of lives waiting for the “approval” of “authority” to help one another with so many common-sense procedures designed for the purpose.

Auditors are made by auditing, and that’s just the way it is. Professional integrity grows with results attained, and while training and internship is still recommended as one potential service of great value, it must never again become the only way.

Never misrepresent your level of experience or offer what you are not sure you can deliver, and you will do fine.

So to conclude all this, I am at heart, a philosopher – a lover of wisdom – and it is very rare, historically, to be able to make a living in this field. I started my new professional career with 20 years of applied study, and a full year of intensive co-processing covering every important basic procedure available, up through the highest graduate level actions. Now, a year of very satisfied clients has shown me that it can be done.

And now I am available to help you do it, if you happen to share that purpose.

And I thank those who have stayed with me – or even showed a little kindness and help along the way – from the bottom of my heart.

I live amidst a slowly fading tragedy – the loss of my becoming-soul-mate wife of 9 years, and the loss of my religion of 18 years – but despite all that, I can claim and enjoy, a victory here. One which helps me greatly in the journey to become more and more free – more and more ‘me.’

It was a sad day in December 2012 when I realized that the founder of my “religion” of 18 years was in reality, the architect of the break-up of my family. That L. Ron Hubbard himself, was the engineer of the policies we were expected to follow…

I began to write this post in December of 2012, the month that I was in Costa Rica retrieving what was left of my possessions from where I had lived for 8 years, having already sold or got rid of most of what I owned to relocate there in 2004. I even cashed out my teacher retirement in order to donate money to the church.

I am posting this now – one whole year later – having finally gotten up the courage to do so. (No one can say that I did not take the time to find the real truth of the matter.)

As an admirer of an effective technology developed under his direction, I was a devoted follower of L. Ron Hubbard for 19 years when I finally had this realization.

Knowing that I could be offending a lot of people who still think as I once did, that Hubbard was a “saint” beyond reproach, I’ve long held my tongue.

No more.

It was a sad day for me in December of 2012 that my wife of 8 years – both of us Scientologists – cut off all communication between us and even with her two sons – even though one was not a Scientologist and wanted to stay in contact with me. All of them were my family for 7 years – through good times and bad. It was then that she finally completed the process required of her by the church, known as “DISCONNECTION.”

I had been a volunteer missionary who defended the church there, using my time and at my own expense, with very little compensation ever received. I spent the prime of my life doing this.

Because I could no longer shut my eyes to the corrupt side of L. Ron Hubbard’s Scientology, I lost everything I had worked for there.

For the past 30 years, Scientology has been run by government-sanctioned mafioso, David Miscavige, a young, ruthless punk, hand-picked by L. Ron Hubbard himself – well before his death in January 1986 – to hire the very best IRS-connected attorneys and re-organize Scientology to “makemoney… and… make moremoney,” going through all torturous manifestations of criminal evasion in order to not lose any to the government tax authority – the IRS. Miscavige was carrying out the orders and advices of his mentor, L. Ron Hubbard, but with his own designs on assuming power and total control of the religion and its followers.

All this was to further the long pattern of religious cloaking which helped to conceal their criminal acts – not only those actions ordered by them against those whom they designated “enemies,” but ongoing criminal acts of inurement (misappropriation of donations) against their own parishioners!

But despite the fact that David Miscavige has taken this criminality sanctioned by “religious doctrine” to new extremes, it was L. Ron Hubbard who designed, implemented and maintained almost every aspect, rule and policy of the religious group/cult known as Scientology as still practiced today.

I lost my family to his cruel, anti-life policy known as “Disconnection.”

Now as I also discovered then in December 2012, at the same time I was losing my family, sometime back in 1983, L. Ron Hubbard wrote a dispatch ordering that ‘Disconnection’ be re-instated as policy for the Scientology religion, knowing full well the trouble it had brought him with governments in the late 1960’s, when he’d officially canceled the policy, and even promised a government in an official letter that:

“the Board of Directors of the Church of Scientology …have no intention of re-introducing this policy”

and:

“I can see no reason why this policy should ever be re-introduced, as an extensive survey in the English speaking countries found that this practice was not acceptable.” – LRH

– this is from a letter sent to “The Commission of Enquiry into Scientology in New Zealand” on 26 Mar ’69 by L. Ron Hubbard.

L. Ron Hubbard LIED!

(Not to mention the “Code of REFORM” from August 1968 that led to the decision of “Cancellation of disconnection as a relief to those suffering from familialsuppression.”)

Now, before anyone says that story of the ‘Disconnection’ policy reinstatement is a flimsy basis for targeting the founder of Scientology, Mr. L. Ron Hubbard himself for knowingly and willingly breaking up families – like mine – in order to create and maintain an insular cult that he would financially benefit from, I have something to share that makes any challenge to that ‘Disconnection’ reinstatement story, completely unnecessary.

The fact that is that completely apart from that revelation by former leaders of the church who witnessed that the re-instatement of ‘Disconnection’ came from Hubbard, I had also came to realize in the course of my researches, that Mr. Hubbard himself knowingly and willingly assigned a pregnant woman to the Rehabilitation Project Force, a rather cruel act, and that years earlier he had built his Sea Organization and firmed up his authoritarian command of it by instituting cruel punishments like “overboarding” ministers-in-training, including elderly women trainees, and forcing a man to push a peanut across a ship’s deck with face bleeding and his wife and kids crying – forced to watch in humiliation.

Add to all that multiple reports of assigning a 5-yr-old boy to 5 days and nights in the cold, terrifying chain locker of his Apollo ship. (Some reports allege more than one child so assigned, with age of child as young as four years of age.)

You see, sometime before this ‘Disconnection’ hit me full force, I took a new look through an L. Ron Hubbard book entitled “Scientology Ethics” and its origins in 1965 Ethics policies, and I finally reached the inevitable conclusion that more and more people alienated from their loved ones by the use of ‘Disconnection,’ are bound to reach:

-That L. Ron Hubbard, himself, genius that he was, by these actions and in a long-term failure to come clean, nevertheless undid a whole lot of the good he had once done for people in developing a highly workable technology for “helping people help each other.”

-That in 1965, he developed policies, rules and restrictions that taken as a whole, virtually guarantee that people will be attacked unjustly, cruelly denied help in time of greatest need, and covertly guided into disconnecting from their own friends and family, in order to maintain their “good standing” in his church, which was soon to become a paramilitary cult (very little of which policy was ever necessary to protect the actual technology, but instead was crafted to protect the power of the inner clique, hiding criminal activity and even permitting and condoning criminal activity to do so, which activity has plagued the organization ever since).

Tragically, we find that the very first set of processes (now known as the “Power Processes”) that consistently worked on nearly all persons who received them (many processes had been advertised that way, but these were the first that Hubbard recognized actually met people’s expectations enough to sell with confidence) became his first of many gross violations of his representations and promises made to mankind and to Scientologists, in an essay entitled “My Philosophy.”

By keeping these processes from the field and asserting that they were “dangerous” in the hands of those not trained and trusted members of his organization, L. Ron Hubbardsquirreled away critical portions of a workable mental and spiritual technology (“Power Processing”) from mankind, in a bid to build and preserve empire and “make money and… make more money.”

He then, in that same year 1965, developed and used cruel, anti-family policies to cover up his own crimes and his greed in squirreling away processes that actually might have accomplished his stated objective of “clearing the planet” (getting the peoples of earth the tools they would need to overcome the effects of traumatic experiences) but that he instead insisted knowingly under false pretenses, must become and remain, “confidential.”

‘Disconnection’ as a practice of Hubbard’s new 1965 version of Scientology, was not just a policy out of one Policy Letter, but was deeply woven with malice aforethought, throughout many fundamental policies and the false technology of “ethics” – including technically unworkable and outright harmful, “PTS” (Potential Trouble Source) restrictions on auditing (counseling therapy).

I well remember playing the endless game as a Public Divisions staffmember, of presenting someone who really, truly needed help in life and was willing to do anything to get it, being turned away because of some Hubbard policy preventing it. And at the time, I did not even think to question or blame the founder – no, I rationalized it, and participated – though unwillingly – in crimes against the spirit (“When Help Becomes Betrayal“).

And with that realization, the only real ‘Disconnection’ that I am in need of, is from Hubbard’s false, fake “church” which cloaked in religious trappings and protected by religious exemptions, is organizationally set up to utterly ruin its arbitrarily designated “enemies” (like me) that it creates for those exercising the very free speech and free thought promised in its empty and neglected, “Creed of the Church” and in its rarely-displayed 1968 “(Reform) Code of a Scientologist.”

Okay, yes. L. Ron Hubbard worked long and hard to assemble a technology that can be put to use to help people. When done in a safe environment away from criminal organizations, it does work wonders. I am not without appreciation for the hard work – he was not idle or lazy. I have no doubt that at various times in his life L. Ron Hubbard worked his heart out for a very decent purpose.

And because of that early diligence, thanks to the tremendous effort in getting it explained to students of the new technology, we will continue putting that large portion of workable technology which resulted, into the hands of people who truly want to help.

But the facts cannot be ignored that this same person willingly destroyed these good works by selfishly indulging in abuse of power for personal gain and organizational supremacy.

Sadly, many people continue to believe that a lot of the above-mentioned and ongoing crimes, were and are, okay, because the “tech works” and so “the end justified the means.”

But as far as I am concerned, the L. Ron Hubbard as author and engineer of this anti-family, anti-life policy, and his mafioso replacement David Miscavige, as the usurper agent of a hostile takeover of Hubbard’s de facto mafia, craftily embedded into religious organization, can just keep all of that phony “code of ethics” nonsense copyrighted in platinum forever.

“‘…if you ever reveal any of this information that I am about to reveal, the consequences will be severe for SCN (Scientology).’

“He then wrote, ‘a person does not blow due [to] Overts or Withholds. He blows only due to ARC BKs (upsets)’.

“‘However, If any of this information ever became public, I would lose all control of the orgs and eventually Scientology as a whole.’ – (Signed) LRH”
